VINYL: EX great shine and only a couple of faint hairlines which do not affect play.

COVER: VG+ the faintest of ring wear and some mild corner wear however this cover is in great shape.

LABELS: EX as seen in photos.

Please refer to photos which form part of the description and show the tracks. If you cant tell from the photos, I try to be conservative with my grading as Id prefer you to be happy rather than disappointed. If you have any questions or concerns about this record please ask any questions prior to purchase and I would be happy to assist. As I will be listing a high number of records with limited time I provide a visual grade unless otherwise noted where Ive been able to listen to a record or needle drop sections of a record to provide an audible grade.

RECORD GRADING

The grades below can have a + or a - to upgrade or downgrade if needed.

• Mint (M) or Near Mint (NM):

  
  

  Records graded Mint will be sealed. Near Mint records will be in opened but as new condition, they will appear to have been played a couple of times at most. The sleeve will also be in as new condition with little to no concerns.These are the highest grades.
  

  
  

  Excellent (EX):
• The record may show very slight signs of play, such as faint hairlines or inner sleeve removal lines, but these will be minimal and should not affect playback.There may be very light static at the intros and breaks and a few soft static /clicks throughout, but there will still be excellent sound quality.The sleeve might have some minor wear.This grade is slightly less than Near Mint.

  
  

  Very Good Plus (VG+):
• The record shows some signs of use, such as light scratches or surface noise but will retain great shine.It may have some crackle/static in places but there should be no deterioration in sound quality.The sleeve may have some minor wear such as light ring, edge or corner wear but there will be no big or major seam splits or tears.This grade is often considered "good" and suitable for most listeners.

  
  

  Very Good (VG):
• The record has more noticeable signs of wear, such as more scratches, surface noise, and potentially some ticks however the audible quality will generally be satisfactory to many and any background noise should not overpower the music.The sleeve will still present well but may show more wear than VG+ including one or more of the following: ring wear, some crease/bend marks, edge and corner wear, small stains, writing, small splits or tears and foxing, laminate lift etc.

  
  

  Good (G) or Good Plus (G+):
• The record may have significant wear, including deeper scratches and surface noise.The record will likely have been played so much that the audio quality has noticeably deteriorated with more crackles and pops throughout.Playback may be affected and the record may skip on 1 track and/or the vinyl may have a warp, but the music is generally still playable.The sleeve may have significant wear to a more noticeable degree than what is described in the VG grade above.
